I’m hoping someone can help me clear up the confusion of Mary Carr and her relationship to the Duncan family in Washington County, TN. Through various sources I have come across variations of the following information: Of the children of Charles Duncan b. 1748 in Rowan County, NC d. 1818 Washington County, TN and Susannah Bourn b. 1749 in Rowan County, NC d. 1828 Washington County, TN, married 1768 in Rowan County, NC, two of their children appear to have married Mary Kerr (Carr). Raleigh Duncan b. 1772 Surry County, NC d. 1832 Anderson County, TN married Mary Kerr b. 1774 in Washington County, TN. They were married 1794 in Washington County, TN. John Duncan b. 1785 Surry County, NC d. 1842 Washington County, TN married Mary Carr b. 1795 in Tennessee d. 1852 Washington County, TN. They were married 1808 in Washington County, TN. Does anyone know if there were two Mary Carr’s as indicated by the birthdates and marriage dates? If so was Mary Kerr the da!
ughter of James Kerr (Carr) and who were the parents of Mary Carr b. 1795? Richard Carr, esq was one of the witnesses identified on the will of Charles Duncan, is he perhaps related to either Mary Carr?

Hello,
I am looking for information on Andrew Jackson Carr. b. 2 April 1824 in Cherry Creek, NY. He is descended from Gov. Celeb Carr, through Edward, James, James, William, and then James Carr was his father.
I have that he married Sarah Adeline Bernard, b. 12 December 1830, NY, but other family members say her name was Blodgett.
They moved to Worth County, MO from Chautauqua, NY sometime after their daughter, Minerva's, birth in NY 17 December 1850, as she was married in Hardin County, MO on 2 April 1868.
Any information on this couple, especially Sarah would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Angela Pratt

James Carr (1876-c1950) aka Jimmy Carr; Emigrated to USA after 1901, possibly 1903; Bartender; Chauffer (b. November 14, 1874, Coalpits, Athleague, Killeroran, County Galway, Ireland - d. circa 1950, Bronx or Brooklyn, or Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA)
Birth:
James was born July 28, 1876 to Thomas Carr (c1840-before1901) and Bridget Conboy (c1840-c1905) of Coalpits, Killeroran, County Galway/Roscommon, Ireland.
Siblings:
James had the following siblings: Sarah Jane Carr (1866-1950) aka Sadie Carr, who emigrated to the US and married Patrick J. Norton (1856-1905); Katherine Carr (1865-1952) aka Kitty Carr, aka Kate Carr, who emigrated to the US and married James Joseph Kennedy (1870-1926); Thomas Carr II (1876-?) who stayed in Coalpits in Ireland and married Mary Kelly; Mary Carr (1873-?) who stayed in Coalpits in Ireland; and Andrew Carr who may have emigrated to Australia.
Emigration:
James appears in the 1901 Census living in Ireland. He emigrated to New York around 1903. This was almost 20 years after his siblings arrived. He had a thick Irish accent.
World War I draft:
He filled out his draft card on September 12, 1918 and listed his birthday as July 28, 1876. He listed his next of kin as "sister, Mrs. Kate Kennedy, 556 West 60th Street". He was working as a chauffer and living at 358 West 41st Street "c/o Kelly".
Memories about James Carr:
Christopher Aloysius Enright II (1927- ) says:
"We called him uncle Jimmy. He had a saloon in the Bronx and later drove a taxi. He never moved to New Jersey."
Anne Elizabeth O'Malley (1933- ) says:
"James Carr visited us once during World War II, Katherine Carr Kennedy wasn't thrilled that he was visiting. This was on 77nd Street in Manhattan in New York. She never mentioned our uncle Jimmy again. He didn't look very prosperous."
Thomas Patrick Norton II (1920- ) says:
"Uncle Jimmy was a pleasant little guy. He was very succesful running a speakeasy in New York. After prohibiton was repealed he went out of business. He had a strong Irish brogue. He used to give out $5 gold pieces that were smaller than a dime. He gave one to each child. Giving out the coins was his trademark whenever we saw him. My dad would take away the coins and say 'i'll take care of them for you', and I would never see them again. Jimmy was a thin wispy guy who looked like Barry Fitzgerald, the actor. He probably took the tube train into Jersey City, from New York where he lived [when he visited us]. He never had a car. The train was eight cents to get into New York City from Jersey City. My grandmother, Nana, was very proud of him, he was very enterprising at his illegal saloon."
Coalpits, Ireland:
Ann Elizabeth O'Malley (1933- ) writes:
"On September 28, 1982 Fred and I drove to Roscommon in search of [the birthplace of Katherine (Kitty) Carr (1865-1952)]. We asked the postmaster for directions to Holly Grove or Coal Pits. Before leaving the U.S., I spoke to Joe Kennedy, Catherine Carr’s son, who suggested that we speak to Postmaster Flannigan in Roscommon. Unfortunately he had been transferred to another office. In Athleague, the closest town of any size to Coal Pits, we asked the first elderly man we saw if he had ever met Thomas Carr. He said if it is the Thomas Carr who married Mary Kelly then he had. That was our lucky day. He directed us to the Holly Grove/Coal Pits area. We stopped in front of a two story granite house and asked a middle aged man if he knew whether this was the former residence of Thomas and Mary Carr. As luck would have it, once again he said that it was not, but that he owned the old Thomas Carr estate. His name was Mr. McCann and he said that the property had been divided !
and the Rourkes had built a house on a portion of the original property. He stated further that the house was in bad condition because no one was living in it and that cows had roamed through it. He also said that the house was hard to spot because it was very far back from the road. Mr. McCann also said that his mother would love to talk with us but unfortunately we could not find her house. We drove back and forth several times and finally saw an elderly woman who had known Tom and Mary. She said that they frequently cycled into Athleague. The neighbor also said that Mary loved children and often gave them sweets. We turned the car around and spotted the house high on the hill. It is hard to say how much property was originally with the house. It might be as little as twenty acres or more than one hundred. It would have been an interesting question to ask Mr. McCann. At the entrance to the property there were two stone posts. We walked approximately 600 feet straight ahea!
d and then turned to the left and continued up a slight grade approxim
ately 200 feet. It was a stone house with a door framed in an interlacing pattern of diamonds and ovals. There were quoins on the two front corners of the house. The front door was boarded up so we climbed through a back window into the kitchen which still had only a mud floor. At the front entry hall there was a staircase straight ahead and a hallway to the left of the staircase leading to the kitchen. There were two large rooms, one on each side of the entry hall both with interesting fireplaces. A stairway with nicely carved banisters, still intact, led to the second floor. The second floor like the first consisted of two large rooms, both with a fireplace. To the left of the house was a stone shed. There was also a spring on the property and someone said that many years ago it was used as a community spring. It was a great thrill to see the house where my grandmother was born and grew up. If only the cows had not roamed through it and destroyed the floors it would still !
be a picturesque house on a hill. After dinner that evening we went to a general store in Athleague and mentioned that my grandmother, Catherine Carr, was born in Coal Pits. They said that Mary Kelly’s sister, Mrs. Haughey, was still alive and lived in Athleague right next to the church. We also learned that there were Carrs in neighboring Fuerty Parish. We went to see Mrs. Haughey the next day and her son came to the door and said that his mother was very low. He asked if we could come back later. Unfortunately our schedule was tight and we reluctantly headed for Donegal."
Burial:
James Carr is most likely buried in the Bronx, New York or Hudson County, New Jersey.
